ADEA Steering Committee Meeting

France (close outskirts of Paris)

ADEA is governed by a Steering Committee composed of ten African ministers of education and representatives of most multilateral, bilateral and private development organizations that work in the education sector in Africa. The Steering Committee is both ADEA's governing body and ADEA's primary instance for coordination among funding agencies, among African ministries of education, and between these two components. The ten ministers of education who sit on the Steering Committee constitute the ADEA Bureau of Ministers. They are chosen by the Caucus of Ministers which consists of all the ministers of education of sub-Saharan Africa. Ministers are selected by region (Western Africa, Eastern Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean) and serve on the bureau for a four-year period. Bureau members are selected on the basis of alphabetical rotation by country. During its Steering Committee, ADEA also organizes thematic seminars. The main objective of these seminars is to provide a venue for high level discussions between ministers of education and member agencies on priority issues for education in Africa. Seminars have focused on: new initiatives and trends in development cooperation for education; the financing of education; the future of ADEA working groups in the present African context; and follow-up activities towards the improvement of educational quality.
